MCADORY: If somebody was going to bring a full size console to your show, do you have a preference? The Vita ones are way longer, last I checked. LES: Yeah, there’s a million guides on doing that. It’s way easier to jailbreak a 3DS, apparently. You can get a DS at a thrift store for 20 bucks. LES: I was looking at buying a Vita online and Vitas go for like 200 bucks on eBay, because you need to get the storage cards too. Jackets, Hoodies, and Pants by Balenciaga. LES: The Vita does have a camera, but they stopped selling it like 10 years ago at this point, right? Somebody should start making better handhelds again. Do you worry that you’re cultivating a Nintendo bias? Your fans are known for bringing Game Boys and DS’s to your shows. Yeah, an uncharted cave, somewhere where there’s no one around for miles except for us and an interviewer. LES: I would want to go to the top of a mountain. MCADORY: Where would you want to go for your hypothetical Vice profile? I did DMT with Johnny Knoxville so you didn’t have to. So, you know those sort of GQ style profiles of celebrities like, “I went to a haunted cornfield maze with Johnny Knoxville and talked about Greek rock climbing and the meaning-” And if I can have two appliances, it’s a coffee machine.

They say never meet your heroes IRL, or something to that effect, so I caught up with Les and Brady over Zoom last month while they were in Houston for their tour. This is music that will devour you if you don’t run from it, that digests you more than you digest it.

It also sounds ripe for an over-the-top simile: it’s like Windows 95 having loud shower sex with a Discord server at your mom’s double-wide… while Flavor of Love autoplays in the kitchen, or whatever. Dubstep and nü-metal and ska and pop punk and hooks and the THX deep note: it sounds old and it sounds brand new. If you’ve listened to the duo’s second LP, this year’s 10,000 Gecs, you might understand why people reach for these descriptions. Also: Laura Les and Dylan Brady have never, as far as I know, put the internet or 2010s culture into a blender–solids and liquids only. Nor are they Nirvana for Zoomers or cuspy millennials, though they do sport long blond bleach jobs. Shirt and Necklace Laura’s Own.Ĭontrary to reports, 100 Gecs are not the future.
